image The scoping of the search can be done using the three options provided below the search textbox: Apps, Settings and Files. The moment you select one it will list all the programs/files that falls under that category and as you type, the ones not having the matching text will fall out.

Note To view/add the tabs of Internet Explorer from the tile display, right click anywhere on the currently open Internet explorer page; the tabs will appear at the top.
